Three things can't be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon and the Truth.
Truth exists, struggles and ultimately comes out.
On many occasions, Pakistan's administration tried to construct the country's future on the ground of lies and bogus stories. They cooked up one story to conceal the other or at least they tried not to shed light on the issue which could reveal their failures. It is, unfortunately, nothing less than an act of treason. I recently came across a Pakistani and talked to him for a while. Surprisingly I discovered that he knew directly opposite to what the rest of the world knows about his country. What surprised me further was that he was happy to live without electricity but not without Nuclear Weapons as his unspoken words implied that India wanted to capture his country and therefore his country's army needed it. I had so much talk with him which pushed me to write this article. In this write-up, we will dig out top five truths which have cunningly been falsified and posed to the people of Pakistan.
1. MALALA YOUSAFZAI
The girl is an international name, a global fame, also a universal role model for children. We saw that in past, they tried to hold her back from spreading awareness about the importance of education in girls, but failed; they tried to silence her but failed; they tried to kill her- aha! failed again, and now the extremists are trying to project her as a traitor of Pakistan but they will fail once again for sure. Malala Yousafzai is a brave and peace-loving girl for you and me but unfortunately not for the local Pakistanis since there is a general view that she is an agent of America or Israel or may be of India for that matter and tarnishing the image of Pakistan at global level. For them, her winning Nobel Prize means nothing because she won the 'Peace Prize' not by virtue of her worth but by means of western leanings. They believe the girl is working hand-in-hand with the enemies and showcasing Pakistan as a terrorist nation.
But the truth is the opposite of what they are made to believe in. The girl is not spoiling the national image at all, but she is restoring the glory of Pakistan. In fact, she is giving a clear message to the world that 'Pakistan is not a terrorist state since ordinary people and children of Pakistan are strongly against terrorists and she is the perfect example. Obviously, she is not the face of terror but the common people. Despite all these above, Pakistanis term her action as an affront to the nation. In an interview with 'The Atlantic', Malala said that her love for Pakistan would never weaken even if its people hate her.
As far as I know about Malala Yousafzai, she is not a traitor but patriot and stands for a Pakistan of educated children, empowered women and active citizens.
2. THE WAR OF 1965
The local Pakistanis take great pride in telling the world a fake story of 1965 war between India and Pakistan cooked up by Pakistani Army. Ironically, some of them even claim that Pakistan won all four wars fought against India. There is nothing to exaggerate about the fact that Pakistan possesses a dream of capturing Kashmir ever since it came into existence in 1947. Let us, for a moment, accept that Pakistan won the wars and bravely defeated India. Now two quick questions arise before us- why is Kashmir not under Pakistani authority yet? And how did Pakistan lose its grip over Bangladesh in 1971?
No country can progress if its people are forced to live in a confined world of lies and if the people are deprived of the history that literally occurred and they are given self-invented stories instead. History is a good teacher and guide that helps you move on the right path; in the right direction and also helps you in taking the right decision at the apposite time.
A few days ago a Pakistani political economist, Dr. S. Akbar Zaidi, came under attack from all directions, when he said That Pakistan had not won the 1965 war. “Students are not taught the true history of Pakistan rather it is focused on the making of Pakistan,” he said. “With the celebration of the victory in the 1965 war round the corner, there can be no bigger lie that Pakistan won the war. We lost terribly in the 1965 war.” he added referring to the war.
Dr. Zaidi is not the only Pakistani who is under attack but there are many intellectuals such as Najam Sethi, Hassan Nisar since these people dare to take on the autocracy of Pakistan.
Anyway, let us plow the war of 1965 which was started following Pakistan's Operation Gibraltar designed to infiltrate Pak forces into Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan reckoned that it was the perfect time to annex Kashmir by force as India, it thought, had become feeble following the aftermath of Indo-China war of 1962. On August 5, 1965 between 28,000 and 33,000 Pakistani soldiers, disguised as Kashmiri locals, crossed the Line Of Control and headed for various areas within Kashmir. Pakistan launched a surprise attack on Indian forces from all sides, without any slight warning. Before India could understand and make plans, Pakistan occupied a big chunk of Indian territory and seized many tanks and other weapons at different military posts. It did not illustrate their bravery but cowardice.
Later, Indian forces swung into action with a thorough plan and retaliated by launching a full-scale military attack. As a result, Pakistan's forces had to fall back. At last everything was upside down, Indian soldiers now claimed a big part of Western Pakistan by Hoisting Indian flag at 'Barkee Police Station' of Lahore. People of both countries suffered a huge loss due to the frantic action of Pakistani army. The then Prime Minister of India, Shri Lal Bahadur Shashtri, made up his mind to teach Pakistan a lesson by not returning the occupied Pakistan territories. He, however, had to succumb to the pressure from America and Russia as well as a big section within his party built up pressure on him to return the land. The Patriot Prime Minister agreed to give back the land at the Tashkent Peace Agreement.
In this war, no result was drawn, but Pakistan had to suffer comparatively a huge loss.
